GMA cover corp sells them brand new. Not cheap, but new.

Re: commo shelters Saturn had one S250 slightly dinged for $250.

A battery disconnect on these things is the way to go. My ferret and Deuce both have them and it makes things easier.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: gasser parts What do you want for the horn unit?

RE: Re: RE: Anyone ID this 6x6? What they want is a big oshkosh Firetruck, but that's not cheap at all. Hmm, I wonder if there's money in making crew-cab deuces for fire departments?

RE: Re: RE: gasser parts Do the gassers have air or electric horns? I have a mind to tap in a second horn set and run those from the air solenoid. I have some Every Thursday anti-war protesters I want to give a Honk at. And since I don't have an easy source for Nathan K5s....

Wayne Harris has a copy (PDF on his website) of the systematic inspection procedure for the deuce. [edit] I thought it was Wayne. I'll have to check the copy I have at work.

I like the rack, but I'm thinking somewhere else would be preferable. I'm not sure where though. Perhaps inside the bed on a fold out mount or something. I do worry that I'll come back from inside a store and find one of the tools missing. I'm torn on dropping the Spare tire mount too in favor...

RE: Interaxle Shaft Modification I think he has a yoke that'll keep them aligned but able to spin slightly differently as he makes corners.

I have a bum battery in my Deuce. I've looked at Interstate who what's $130 per 6TL. Voltex has them for $160 each. I'm waiting to see if the local Batteries Plus can get them for $130 or less.

Part of the idea is that it provides walking space AND has the chains and blocks up front where they're needed for rigging. Just a few feet less to walk, but when you're recovering having everything right there and being able to clean up, check each box at a glance and know the blocks and the...

The other aspect for a larger top mounted door is it's easier to get things like those snatch blocks in and out. also easier to see what I'm looking at. As far as water goes, I can put a seal around the edge of the opening and get a good weather tight seal.

RE: Re: RE: from 6x6 to 6x2 The differential is going to have zero resistance on one side and some amount of resistance on the other, drive input on that pumpkin is going to make that differential set spin one side more than the other because even just based on mass and not rolling resistance...

How do you get to the dang truck with that setup? :-D

RE: more space I thought about that, but I'd rather have a flat deck there that I can easily walk around on when servicing the engine. Some diamond plate that has antiskid paint on it that's also flush with the bumper would be ideal on either side. Jerry cans can be stored in a strap metal...

RE: from 6x6 to 6x2 The problem that Squirttruck outlined was that the differential spider gears will be screaming as you run down the road.

So, part of making my deuce more useful to a single user vs its original design of 1 of many vehicles in an area, involves my plans on additional storage under the bed as well as behind the bumper. The Front bumper area, especially on a winch truck, doubles as a walkway for the front of the...

Squirt truck brought up a possible problem. What's the rear diff doing when you do this?

Only way to control the brakes is to add a 12 volt system to your truck and run a pair of wires for the trailer's power. Now, nice thing is that the 5 tons have a 24 volt power lead on the trailer harness so you can run that as a 24 volt power feed to run accessories on the trailer (like...

So, is that ford a fred flintstone vehicle? Where are the dang floor boards? :shock:
